Notas taxonômicas sobre Pseudis fusca garman e P. bolbodactyla A. Lutz, com a descrição de uma nova espécie correlata (anura, pseudidae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. T flXONOMIC NOTES ON P SEUDIS FUSCA Gfl RMflN fiNO P . BOLBOD.1CTYLA A. LUTZ, W ITH OESCRlPTION 01' A NEW CORRELATED SPECIES (ANURA, PSEUOIDAE). The taxonomic status of Pseudisfusca Garman and P. bo/bodac tyla A. Lutz is revalidated, and here they are considered fllll species. The rediscovely of P.Jusca is related, and a redescription of the species is presented. The redescription, the designation of the lectotype, and the description of the tadpole of P. bolbodactyla are provided. Pseudis locanlins sp.n. is described from the Tocantins river basin. The geographical distriblltion of these three species is discllssed.

Phylogeny and biogeography of paradoxical frogs (Anura, Hylidae, Pseudae) inferred from 12S and 16S mitochondrial DNA

“…Partial surveys of external morphology (Caramaschi and da Cruz, 1998;Klappenbach, 1985;Savage and de Carvalho, 1953), sperm ultrastructure (Garda et al, 2004), and molecular data (Faivovich et al, 2005) were available for some species, and tentative synapomorphies were presented in these assessments. Faivovich et al (2005) argued that current data do not unambiguously separate the two genera and that their monophyly warrants corroboration.…”

“…Phenotypic variation of Pseudis populations is remarkable. Some morphological characters commonly used to separate species, such as lines on the ventral surface of the thighs and size (Caramaschi and da Cruz, 1998;Gallardo, 1961), are hampered by lack of data on geographical and populational variability.…”

“…Cochran and Goin (1970) described P. p. nicefori from Colombia. Since then, L. laevis and L. carayá were recognized as species (Klappenbach, 1985), as were P. bolbodactyla and P. fusca, along with the description of P. tocantins (Caramaschi and da Cruz, 1998). The latest taxonomic addition was the description of P. cardosoi from the Araucaria Plateau of southern Brazil (Kwet, 2000).…”

Study on the population structure of the paradoxical frog, Pseudis bolbodactyla (Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae), using natural markings for individual identification

“…Pseudis bolbodactyla has been found in four Brazilian states: Bahia, Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Mato Grosso (CARAMASCHI & CRUZ 1998, TEIXEIRA et al 2004, VAZ-SILVA et al 2007, GARDA et al 2010, FROST 2013. It is medium sized when compared with other species of Pseudis, and is characterized by a vestigial carpal tubercle, head as wide as long, and dorsal skin sharply wrinkled (GALLARDO 1961, CARAMASCHI & CRUZ 1998, TEIXEIRA et al 2004, GARDA et al 2010.…”

Very few studies have been conducted on the population ecology of P. bolbodactyla, and the existing ones are mainly focused on behavior, diet, and breeding (BRANDÃO et al 2003, TEIXEIRA et al 2004, VAZ-SILVA et al 2007.…”
